EEL-ECTRIC SHOCKERS!
Hi, Rusty fans!
You’d think all the good stories would be used up by the time you got to my page, wouldn’t you? I bet that was Rhona’s fiendish plan. Putting me at the back of the newsletter, so she gets all the good stuff. Well, sorry, Rhona, you’ve failed. Because, once again, I have the month’s best animal news!
Imagine you’re a small tetra fish, swimming along in the Amazon. Suddenly – ZZZZZAP! You’re sent flying out of the water and through the air by a supercharged jolt of electricity. Sorry, fish dude, you’re the victim of Volta’s electric eels.
These eels can grow almost two metres long – and produce an 860-volt electric shock. No other animal can give a zap like that. It’s almost four…
